The New York Giants are planning to cut inside linebacker Bobby Okereke in a cost-saving move, The Athletic reported Saturday.

Releasing the seven-year NFL veteran, who turns 30 in July, will save the Giants $9 million against the 2026 salary cap.

Okereke has led New York in tackles in two of his three seasons with the team, including 143 stops in 2025 and 149 in 2023.

Okereke added one sack, two interceptions and one fumble recovery in 17 games (all starts) for the Giants in 2025.

He has recorded 805 tackles, 7.5 sacks, seven interceptions and 11 forced fumbles in 110 career games (95 starts) with the Colts (2019-22) and Giants. Indianapolis drafted him in the third round in 2019.
